Its Santoku profile and balanced, lightweight construction make it suitable for everyday slicing, dicing and mincing. The ergonomic handle provides a secure and comfortable grip for extended use.

Advantages

The fluted edge reduces food sticking to the blade, improving slicing efficiency. Stainless steel construction ensures resistance to corrosion and maintains a sharp cutting edge with proper care. The ergonomic handle and well-balanced design deliver comfortable control for a range of kitchen tasks.

When it may not be suitable

This Santoku is not intended for heavy-duty tasks such as chopping through bones or frozen food. Its design favours precision and speed rather than extreme force, so using a cleaver or specialized boning knife is preferable for very tough jobs.

Key specifications

How to use

Hold the knife with a comfortable grip on the handle and guide the blade with your other hand holding the ingredient. Use a smooth rocking or forward slicing motion for vegetables and fruits, and short, controlled chops for mincing. The fluted edge helps release slices from the blade; ensure a stable cutting board and cut on appropriate surfaces to protect the blade.
